Running on Symbian™ Series 60 phones, Nuance TALKS converts the
displayed text on the mobile handset into highly intelligible speech.
With Nuance TALKS, blind and low-vision users can take advantage of
most features, including contact directories, caller ID, text messages,
help files, access to the Nokia web browser, and other screen content,
available on their mobile phones.
NEW! The significantly revised
audio handling for handsets running S60 3rd Edition allows to use any
TTS that is supported by TALKS during a call. Looking up a contact or
note, or entering new ones, manage multiple calls, using call options
to mute or hold calls, and much more can be done using the familiar TTS
voice of your choice.
NEW! Now, TALKS&ZOOMS gives
users more freedom, by offering SIM-based licensing. When
TALKS&ZOOMS is registered to a SIM-card instead of being registered
to a phone/IMEI, the user can move that SIM card from one phone to the
other, as long as the SIM license is valid for the TALKS version
installed to the new handset.
NEW! TALKS&ZOOMS now support
reading and even editing word documents, for instance, e-mail
attachments, in QuickWord. QuickWord is a part of QuickOffice, and its
view-only version is pre-installed on most handsets, while the version
that allows to edit text is pre-installed on the Nokia E-Series
handsets, or can be purchased otherwise.
NEW! The Premium Edition of TALKS&ZOOMS includes Nuance Daisy2go, a DAISY text/audio book player for S60 3rd Edition.
NEW! The Object Viewer present in
the Premium Edition of TALKS&ZOOMS now allows to easily configure
speech output for a specific application. This way, the user can
improve speech output for applications that do not work well with TALKS
otherwise, or configure read-out according to his/her likings.
NEW! ZOOMS is now a free component
when purchasing TALKS Premium Edition. The user can decide which
options (TALKS only, ZOOMS only, or both) should be visible, via a View
option in the settings.
NEW! Support for recent S60 3rd Edition handsets: Nokia 6650, E66, E71, N79, N85, N96

selecting items from the phone’s main menu
